I have a puzzle ....

I have mutt-1.2.5i installed as the recommended mail client on my system.  
Compile options are:

System: Linux 2.4.12-ac3 [using ncurses 5.0]
Compile options:
-DOMAIN
-DEBUG
-HOMESPOOL  -USE_SETGID  +USE_DOTLOCK  +USE_FCNTL  -USE_FLOCK
+USE_IMAP  -USE_GSS  -USE_SSL  +USE_POP  -HAVE_REGCOMP  +USE_GNU_REGEX  
+HAVE_COLOR  +HAVE_PGP  -BUFFY_SIZE -EXACT_ADDRESS  +ENABLE_NLS
SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail"
MAILPATH="/var/spool/mail"
SHAREDIR="/usr/local/share/mutt"
SYSCONFDIR="/usr/local/etc"
ISPELL="/usr/bin/ispell"


I set up two accounts for a new user yesterday.  Mutt insists on opening
her mailboxes read-only.  Even if I, as root, su to her account and
explicitly run /usr/local/bin/mutt to make totally certain I'm not hitting
an alias, with read_only explicitly set to no in .muttrc, the mailbox is
still opened read-only.  File ownership and permissions on the mailbox and
on /var/spool/mail are correct.


Any ideas?  Diagnostic tips?  I'm baffled.
